So I decided to start a log here again. Funny enough, it's harder for me to write things down then it is to go to the gym or even to remember the weight I used the previous time from my head. But it should help me stay on track, get advice, etc.

I'm currently recovering my ankle from a sprain (2 months ago) and so I can't do any proper leg work. I decided to focus on my upper body when i was able to get back to the gym which was a couple of weeks ago. Now i'm going to follow what xKillerx laid out for me here:

Tric rope pulldowns. They should work the same way the stupid triceps kickbacks do, but with added abdomen effect.

Tric lat pressdowns. Pull/push it down all the way. Lock in your elbows. Then focus on moving ONLY your lower arms; elbows and rest of body stay locked. If you do this properly your abdominal region should get hammered properly.

Activists are the engineers of the soul. That's why governments lock them up.

Dumbbell Incline Bench Press: Tried with 30kgs (15kg each side), did one set of 5 and kept failing on the 5th for two more reps
so did 5x5x25kgs
Dumbbell Flat Bench Press: Same story with 30kgs, kept failing on the 5th rep for 2-3 sets.
5x5x25kgs
Got pissed off, picked up the 30kgs again and did 2x5 and failed on the 5th of the third set

Getting back in after a bit more then a week away from the gym.
Incline barbell bench press: 5 x5 x 45kg
Close Grip Bench Press: 2 x 5 x 47.5, 1x4x 47.5 (failed on fifth)
Standing Overhead Press: 2 x 5 x 25kg, 1 x 4 x 25kg (failed on fifth)
Triceps pushdowns: 3 x 8 x don't remember.
Endurance seems to have fucked me over here. Also my gym membership's expired but i'm leaving Dublin in a week or two so renewing it makes no sense. May focus on bodywiehgt stuff again or try to get access to the college gym.

so after a few days of mostly lots of push-ups, i went to a kettlebell class at the martial arts school i used to go to yesterday. Lots of swings and clean-and-presses. Felt awesome though my cardio has seemingly gone to shit due to not walking/cycling/training.
EVERYTHING hurts today. Gonna do it again tomorrow.
